If someone is looking for
this church in Parkersburg, it is almost pointless to ask for directions
to Good Shepherd Church. But if you ask where to turn for help, you will
very likely be given directions to what is known locally as "The Pink
Church." The Episcopal community that worships here is as unique in its
giving ministry as in its architecture.

What is
Centering prayer?
It is a method of prayer that can deepen faith in God’s abiding presence by
quieting the mind and resting in God’s presence within. A Centering Prayer group
will meet at St. Michael Catholic Church, 5501 Fourth Ave., Vienna on Sat., Oct.
13, Sat., Nov. 10 and Sat., Dec. 8 from 9:30AM – 11:30 AM. For more information,
